THE DEGRIDITION or THE CIJIL SLRJIC
The Utica Herald" reports that violence
has been done to the Federal oilicc-holdcrS Of
Oneida County The Oneida Democratic Com
mttcc has issued a circular calling upon the
faithful for money to run the campaign, ana
among those who have been urged TO come
down arc the local Federal officials. " Mr..
Cleveland" remarks THE Icrald." can have
the evidence for the asking Of how the Federal
Offices here are halncsScd To the car Of his am
billions and his parYs needs, and the CI'i'
Service is made the tool Of the Democratic
machine, except as the Utica post-oih,c tres

citation can get ocular demonstration here on
the ground how. where the President boasts
was his boyhood's home, every Federal Office
is taxed to supply the snews OF var for the

This Is disCraccful it may wei cause every
genuine friend of Civil Service Reform to hang
hi. head. Still II is only what was TO DC en-
pcctcd The transmission OF such circular
TO a Federal official is an offence against the
law punishable by fine or imprisonment. but

that "'Thc Rochester Union is no doubt

would there have been quarrclS over delegates

~ ONINOCS CONTR1AT.

TO guard Democrats against over confidence
"'rhc Void" carefully reviews the favorable
circumstances which prepared for their victory
in 1884 and contrasts them with the circum-
stances at this time. NcwYOrk had been
carried by l92 ,S54 plurality California by
22 .552, Connecticut by 1880, Colorado by
2,345, Indiana by 1O,GSI plurality, and New
jersey by 500; Democrats had carried Massa-
chusetts for Butler in 1882 by 1879, though
he had been beaten in 1889 they had elected
BegoIc Governor Of Michigan by l,o'2, though
"The World" enormously credits the KcpuD-
leans with plurality; Illinois had reduced It's
Republican plurality to 5,lS4 IN pennsylvania
the Democrats had elected Pattison Governor
bv 4O2O2 plurality. To all these were added
the victory of Uoadlv over Foraker III ONO by
1929 plurality The Democrats had ma
iority in both branches Of the New-fork Legs
laturc; the Prohibition vote had been 2o,OOo'
and there was no Labor party threatening
Democratic disintcgration.
Enormous differences arc apparent when
these facts are cOntrasted with the present
situation. New FORK gave 1l,l34 plurality
for Hill, and 1877 for pcckham last year;
PENNSYLVANIA gave IL, 65l Republican plurality
Secretary Robinson, Mich gan 1892 plurality
for Governor Luce, Massachusetts 8, l03 Tor
Governor Ames. Indiana 1924 for Lieutenant
Governor Robertson, Illinois 35,SlG for Treas
,rcr Tanner Even more favorable results
arc expected with reason this fall, especially
in New York and Ohio while the Labor ticket
renders all Democratic calculations uncertain
But these figures do not adequately express Il
change in public opinion which the conduct
Of the Administration has produced. Consider
MARY land, for instance; 1.-The W orid declares
that "thirty-seven criminals to-day practically
control the elections Of Baltimore. They carry
upon their registration lists 10000 false
ra,ncs. They stuff baIlOt-boxcs, count out can
didatcs and defy public opinion" The state
is certain to give a Republican majority this
wear if an honest election can be held, Tor Ol
the tbirty-scvcn criminals the most notorious
and active hold Office under President CIcyc-
land. The shameless defiance of public scnli-
ment in their appointments has completely
changed the attitude Of those who supported
President Cleveland in the hope Of getting
"rcform,D and not in Maryland only, but IN
other States.
In other respects, the Democratic party has
weakened itself even more under the test OF
responsibility. II promised reduction OF taxa

has increased appropriations. 1t promised III

IL is time the friends Of temperance through
out the State made up their minds as to INC
best means Of helping the cause they have at
heart. through the ballot. Regarding the
situation coolly and without prejudice, this is
how if appcars There are three possible
ways of voting. The voter may help the Dem
ocratic party openly by voting its ticket, or
indirectly by voting the third party or Pro-
hlbition ticket or he may advance real reform
by voting the Republican ticlct. No friend
Of temperance is likely to fall INTO line WITH
the Democrats directly, because their platform
declares squarcly against all legislative inter-
ference with the drink traffic. There Is not
and never can be any hope Of amendment III
that quarter, and therefore it is as contrary to
all consistency for temperance man to vote
ticket which will advantage the Democratic
party indirectly, AZ one which squarcly rccog-
uizcs the claims of the rum power. The third
party movement offers to voters only the OPP
poItunty Of hndcring Republican progress;
that is to saw of njuing and delaying the one
political organization which represents tho
temperance sentiment Of the country fairly
and which has the influence and power to apply
that sentiment in reform legislation.
What third-party1sm really signifies NAV be
realized by examining recent statement Of
"Thc Voice. Commenting on the recent
failure Of prohibition amendments. and pre-
dieting a like failure in Tennessee (Which has
como to pass, the third-party organ expressed
the fear "that IN end had come to non-partiSan
State victories" Then, in answer, so it says,
to correspondents, 1t proceeds to explain its
meaning by asserting that the early victories
Of the Prohibitionsts were won because the
liquor power was unorganizcd, but that now
it is equipped with a full organization and

COLONEL B4TRD FOR MAYOR or BROOhLIN
The Republican City Convention of Brooklyn
did good piece of business yesterday IN nom
mating for MAYOR Colonel Andrew ID. Band.
Not only have they named sterling Rcpub-
lican and a successful business man Of Unm-
pcachablc character but their action Is in the
nature Of rccompcnSc for the failure to give
Colonel Baird the nomination two years ago.
That failure was due TO the busybodics OF the
Citizens League. There is no doubt that
Colonel Baird would have made n strong can
didatc then; there is none that he will make
n strong candidate now. 80 unanimous was
Republican opinion in his favor that no other
name was brought before the convention, and
the nomination was made by reclamation.
Colonel Baird is sure Of every Republican
vote. and he deserves the hearty support OF
all those men who believe in independence of
action. especially in local affairs, and of that
considerable body Of Democrats who have be-
come convinced that no good thing for Brook
lyn can come out of their own party so long
as it is dominated by the onc-man power. As
between the Republican candidate and the
candidate to he named by the Democratic
Convention-whO must in the nature of things
be man agreeable to "BoSs" Mclaughlin, If
not directly chosen by him after satisfactory
pledges are givcn-it is impossible to see how
any one with the true interests of the city at
heart can hesitate in making choice. The
only charge that can possibly be made against
Colonel Baird is that he has always been n
Republican. lie has served the city well IN
the Board Of Aldermen lie has built up a
large business employing many woIkmcn, and
has himself risen from the ranks OF laborng
men to the position Of proprietor and employer
He has been good citizen and good neighbour
and he possesses the respect of all who know
him.
With n vigorous canvass 1t ought to DC easily
poss be for the Republicans of Brooklyn to
make winning fight. II is Of extreme I'M
poltancc that the sway Of the corrupt Mcl-aueh-
lin Ring be ended. The Ring is IN position
to make a strong effort to retain lis hold upon
the Offices which il now controls, and the men
who oppose it must put forth all their energies
TO compass It's downfall. With an energetic
campaign. and with proper efforts to bnng olit
n full vote, Brooklyn can be redeemed from
the slough in which it has waIlowcd for the
last two years.
